Recently acquired this one... a real Mystery! 1924 is a guess. Movement is 8 1/2 lignes, case is 18K non-Bulova. I found a post on NAWCC site about a similar Lady Maxim (no photo). The case was 14K gold filled, but had the same manufacturer's stamp. Is this a BULOVA, or was it made for another company by BULOVA??

Will,
For Me, there's enough evidence to support that the Case Seriel number method of Dating a Bulova Watch is consistant from 1921 thru 1949.
This is of particular importance for Watches which Date to 1921 thru 1923 as Bulova's published method of Dating their Movements was not initiated until 1924.

Mark.. those first three years are important ones as no date symbol before 1924. Bob the correlation appears to be pretty strong during those years...perhaps not as strong 1947 - 1948, but until one does some analysis on the strength of these correlations, I think of them as very strong trends.
update.
Close scrutiny of the vintage Database ad Dated 1922 http://www.mybulova.com/sites/default/files/vintage_ads/1922-AD.jpg reveals on obscure line of text of the very foot of the page which reads:
J. BULOVA COMPANY, Fifth Avenue at 16th Street. New York.
"Makers of the famous Hudson Maxim and Rubaiyat Watches"
